Overview
We want users to have access to their data, in particular the data that forms their web-browsing context (bookmarks, tabs, web apps, passwords, etc.) from all of their devices. This data should be tied to their identity, so that logging into a device is sufficient to connect to all the services the user has previously set up, whether those services are provided by Mozilla or third parties. These are Identity-Attached Services, which, as a whole, we're code-naming PICL (Profile In the Cloud). While we figure out what PICL will include, and until we can demonstrate true user value, this is a Mozilla Labs project. If PICL is successful, it will subsume Firefox Sync.
Some early explorations of the issues surrounding this effort are available in this public Mozilla tech talk: http://vid.ly/5x1u5r
